Professor Rasmus Pagh Receives International Recognition as ACM Fellow

Professor in the Algorithms and Complexity section and the basic research centre BARC, Rasmus Pagh, has earned recognition from his peers within the international elite of computer researchers and professionals. This title acknowledges his research on the theory and practice of randomized algorithms. 

The ACM Fellows program celebrates the creativity and dedication of its members, whose accomplishments drive innovation and enable broader advances in technology. Each year, the program highlights the impact of pioneers in diverse technical areas. The title of Fellow is ACM's highest member grade, recognizing the top 1% of ACM members for their outstanding contributions to computing and information technology, as well as their exceptional service to ACM and the broader computing community.

For Rasmus Pagh, being recognized alongside the computer scientists he admires most is a profound honour.

– I am honoured to receive this recognition. Many of the computer scientists that I admire the most are ACM Fellows. I am grateful for the opportunities I have had over the years to work with so many talented researchers, without whom I would not have been able to go so deeply into the theory and practice of randomized algorithms, says Rasmus Pagh.

 not have been able to delve so deeply into the theory and practice of randomized algorithms,” said Pagh. 

This year, ACM has named 55 Fellows for their transformative contributions to computing science and technology. All the 2024 inductees are longstanding ACM members whose accomplishments have been selected by their peers for making possible the computing technologies we use every day. Candidates for Fellow must have at least five years of professional membership within the last ten years.
